- Today I'll show you how to easily level up weaker party members using a classic battle from Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. Who is Murphy? Why is he haunting the maze? We may never know, but we appreciate the fact that he gives us about 4500 XP for basically no risk every time we fight him.
You don't even have to leave the room. You can search again....
Also Dilto is stackable which make it easy to kill
Fact check: true!
Yes, you can definitely have more than 1 ghost.
I seem to always get 2 ghosts.
Tea Leaves, I love this vid and your voice is FANTASTIC for reviewing Wizardry and RPGs!
Thank you kindly!
Perhaps the most diabolical aspect of Wizardry is you cannot have an all-fighting front line and a Priest, Mage, Thief, & Bishop in the back. So in the original WizPGMO on Apple II I had a strong all-fighting front line, and my Mage changed class to a Bishop mid-game. But in the sequel Knight of Diamonds, which imported your WizPGMO party, I was stuck when I needed a teleport spell. So I took my original WizPGMO Samurai and spent HOURS fighting Murphy's Ghosts solo until he learned the Level 7 Mage spell Malor, then imported him into KoD !
Back in the day I always ran with a bishop in the party but nowadays I think most people think that's a bad idea, because they simply level too slowly. What I've been doing in my recent playthroughs has been: a "utility bishop" stays parked in the tavern, drinking beer. When I need to identify things, I go back for a drink. Occasionally he will be too low level to identify things, at which point I'll take him for a trip into the dungeon with my higher-level party to power level him a few levels.
@@TeaLeavesProgramming Yes I'm still considering that option on my Xbox. In the original my Bishop was levelled up and had lots of both Mage & Priest spells, which is strong in the long game after Mages and Priests have nothing else to learn. Currently I have my Priest in the front line and plan to change him to a Lord after learning level 7 Priest spells, using my Bishop to take up the slack.
@@tedcamus3578 IIRC in the original there was also the "Identify #9" trick which gave your bishop infinite XP, which made them a lot more viable to play with 😀
@@TeaLeavesProgramming Actually I never knew that one back in the day LOL ! And reportedly it's been removed from the new release anyway.
This was one of my favorite games on NES its coming this week to the ps5 i'm gonna pick it up. TY for this trick i never found it way back in early 90's thats when i played this.
Good luck on your adventure in Llylgamyn!
Yep. Would do this very thing on the NES version.
Until this reboot I've always felt that the NES version was the best way to play Wizardry, because under emulation freeze/defrost makes it so much less painful.
My brother and I had a glitch in our NES version as kids. When we finally beat him, every member of that party gained infinite XP. Every time one of those characters rested, they gained a level!!
True heroes!
Just got a total party wipe on 4th floor. I need to level up another group 😭
In practice I think you always need to be sort of absentmindedly grinding multiple groups to do corpse retrieval.
Nice Points Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
My first encounter here was two of them.
Yeah, that's more common than not.
Don't forget the "Bishop identify item 9" cheat
Yes, a classic. Made a video about that recently, right here:
